Abstract: A sway limiting apparatus for a tractor hitch assembly including draft links which are vertically movable between a lower operative position and an upper transport position. The sway limiting apparatus includes a telescopic linkage assembly whose operative effectiveness in limiting lateral sway of the hitch assembly is controlled by a cam defining a cam profile. The cam profile and the linkage assembly cooperate to normally control lateral sway of the hitch assembly as a function of the vertical position of a draft link relative to the horizontal.

Abstract: A tractor power take-off shaft shield assembly having fixed side plates projecting from a tractor wall on either side of the shaft(s), a top plate hinged to the wall and sized to pivot between the side plates, and a slot in one and preferably both side plates each receiving a slot follower pivotably attached to the top plate, which is set in normal, lowered or raised position by positioning the slot follower(s). Preferred embodiments include each slot having an upper slot section angled downwardly somewhat from horizontal to support the slot follower when the tractor is not in use and cause it to automatically return the top plate to its normal position during tractor use. Some preferred embodiments include sidewalls on the top plate adjacent to the side plates.
